[Starface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starface-3) is the brand behind attention-grabbing pimple patches that are shaped like stars or glow in the dark and its newest product—Space Wash cleanser—marks its exploration into a new category. The [foaming face wash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eradikate) is an ultra-gentle, oil-free cleanser made with plant-derived ingredients that was specifically created to "promote fast healing for damaged skin."

For those with [acne-prone skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-acne-biome), some cleansers can do more harm than good, especially as drying formulas can strip the skin of its natural oils and onset the production of excess oil. The free-from Space Wash cleanser boasts a clean formula that's effective for removing makeup and dead skin cells, plus fighting acne-causing bacteria. Some of the soothing ingredients in the formula are white willow bark extract (a natural salicylic acid alternative), and herb and flower extracts.
